Answer:

$166.07

Explanation:

You have to convert 6% into a decimal which is .06

Then multiply the original price by that decimal that you just got. So 156.67x.06=9.4002 (don't round)

Then add the original price with that number you just got which is your tax. In other words 9.4002+156.67= 166.0702 (so now you round to get 166.07) :))
